"Master, the Regent is a man..."

The abbot smiled with relief, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

...

Inside the carriage, Murong Jin glanced at his hand.

Evil eye?

It can amplify one's desires.

That's not wrong.

The moment she touched it, the desires in her mind surfaced, and she saw the glorious and prosperous land of the Great Cheng Dynasty.

This thought has never changed from the beginning; with the desire amplified, it seems even more normal.

"Your Majesty, what happened in the attic?"

Murong Jin: "Nothing, Yi Yi, let's go to the training camp."

Yi glanced at the sky and said, "Yes."

It's already late. If we go to the training camp now, His Majesty will probably still be participating in the competition. Li Mingzhong didn't ask anything else. Since Murong Jin said everything was fine, then something must be wrong.

Otherwise, how could that old abbot so easily bow down to the regent?

………

In the forest.

Emperor Junlan was eating, with a fire burning in front of him and fish roasting.

"Boss, we've already eliminated more than thirty teams. Next are the last ten teams. I heard there's a strong one among them. I wonder if we can take them down?"

Di Junlan looked at the third brother beside him and said, "No rush, let's eat first."

"good."

It's been three days already. First, let's secure first place for the team, and then it'll be time for the individual competition.

I wonder how Murong Jin is doing now, and whether he knows anything about his match.

He was taking their tactics very seriously, and his combat skills were learned in the training camp. There were also people from the military stationed in this forest to keep watch in case anything went wrong with the soldiers in the competition.

The enemy attack, assassination, and conspiracies were all executed with remarkable skill by Emperor Junlan, leaving the other seven people completely stunned.

The rough-around-the-edges guys were completely unprepared for the idea that framing and using tricks could so easily defeat their opponent...

Then Di Junlan became their team leader.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two men kept watch while the others rested.

In the dead of night, Di Junlan opened his eyes and saw that the two people on night watch had already fainted. He quickly checked their breathing and found that they were still alive.

Sensing the atmosphere around him, he realized that the place he had specifically chosen was one that the other teams couldn't find, so... someone else had come here.

In an instant, dozens of men in black landed on the ground, each wielding a curved knife...

The others immediately became alert and opened their eyes, staying close to Di Junlan.

Seeing someone dressed like this for the first time, all four of them were a little dumbfounded.

"Boss."

One of the men looked at his brother lying on the ground opposite him and couldn't help but want to go over and see what was wrong.

"Di Junlan?"

Upon hearing the name, the four people nearby exclaimed, "Isn't that their emperor's name?"

Moreover, what are these men in black doing?

Who are you?

The man in black glanced at Di Junlan, "The ones who killed you."

"superior."

The moment they were surrounded, the others were just about to make a move when they saw their leader draw a soft sword from his waist and swiftly dodge towards the enemy.

That's fast.

It's even faster than the third brother.

The clash of swords echoed in the darkness. Di Junlan was finding it difficult to keep up; these people were all specially trained and highly skilled in martial arts…

He couldn't let his teammates be in danger, so he had to take on the burden alone.

When fighting alongside the leader of the men in black, he looked them in the eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

"The person who killed you."

As Di Junlan fought the man in black, a hidden weapon came from behind. Lu San'er saw it and shouted, "Boss, watch out behind you!!!"

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade slicing through the air rang out. The hidden weapon was deflected, and a wheelchair descended from the sky. The rider's clothes fluttered, exuding an aura of detachment from the world.

Lu San'er and his three brothers, along with Di Junlan, quickly retreated and looked at the person who had landed between him and the man in black.

Under the moonlight, the young man, with his long hair reaching his waist, spoke in a calm voice, "What brings you here, sir?"

Realizing that he wouldn't get anything out of her, Murong Jin looked at the person opposite her with cold eyes and said, "Instead of looking for Di Junlan, you should look for me."

The man in black looked at the person who had appeared, his voice tinged with shock, "Murong Jin."

Murong Jin's lips curled slightly. "The Emperor I protect is not someone anyone can kill."

The man in black took two steps back and said to the others, "All of you, get him!"

Murong Jin turned her wheelchair around, looked at the people behind her, chuckled, and calmly uttered a single word, "Leave none alive."

In an instant, the guards who descended from the sky were like gods.

Lu San'er looked at the guards and felt they were formidable. Then there was Commander An, who had also come to Murong Jin's side.

He then knelt on one knee before Emperor Junlan, saying, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."

Di Junlan waved his hand and knelt down in front of Murong Jin. "Brother, why are you here? Did you sense that something happened to me?"

Murong Jin glanced at him sideways, "As long as he's not dead."

The people behind them watched this scene and felt it was somewhat surreal.

The eldest brother is called the Regent, and he's called my elder brother?!

And what does Commander An call the boss?

His Majesty? ? ?

His Majesty! ! !

Then several people knelt down as well, saying, "Your subordinates pay their respects to Your Majesty."

Emperor Junlan looked at them and said, "No need for formalities. Since I am now a new recruit, just treat me like a good brother."

Murong Jin's eyebrows curved slightly, and he said in a calm tone, "Gentlemen, please do not reveal his identity. After all, I want to see if His Majesty can win the first place in this competition."

They respected Murong Jin greatly, and it was because of his glorious achievements that they joined the army. "Yes, Your Highness."

"Brother, tell me, did you arrange for someone to be watching me from the shadows? Otherwise, how could you have arrived so quickly?"

Di Junlan held Murong Jin's arm, and Murong Jin's expression visibly turned colder.

"His Majesty."

Di Junlan smiled gently and said, "Yes, I'm here, brother."

"Please let go of your claws."

Emperor Lan: "..."

Then, seeing a hidden weapon coming from behind Murong Jin, Liu was about to block it when he saw Murong Jin suddenly throw something in that direction. Upon closer inspection, it was a silver needle...

With a soft "Duang," the hidden weapon shattered, while the silver needle flew unharmed towards the black-clad man's forehead, killing him with his eyes wide open.

Di Junlan looked down at the person sitting in the wheelchair, a slight smile curving his lips.

My brother is very skilled. Just from these silver needles, you can tell that he has profound internal strength.

Even Emperor Junlan might not be a match for his brother.

If you can't beat them, join them.

This was something he had learned before, but it was only for his older brother. After all, he could show weakness and submit in front of him, but he would never do such a thing in front of others.

"Brother, since you won't let me hold your hand, can I hold your leg instead?"

Murong Jin: "..."
